Norwich Bulletin: State Sen. Mae Flexer, D-Killingly, agrees and is trying to pass a bill in the General Assembly that would maintain mandatory maternity coverage and access to birth control if future changes to Obamacare eliminate those options.

“I think it’s an outrage that the Republicans in Washington are targeting Planned Parenthood and women’s healthcare. Planned Parenthood meets a critical need throughout the country. If it ceases to exist there are thousands of women in Connecticut and millions across the country who would not receive the preventive health care that they need,” Flexer said.
